Ready To Lead, Just Not Ready To Talk? About Anything?

Katie Couric has just become the next punching-bag for the conservative-right.

Here is an excerpt from her interview with Sarah Palin.



Sean Hannity's verbal hand-job not-withstanding, Palin is effectively 0 for 2 when it comes to one-on-one interviews.

Each time I watch a clip of Palin talking with Charles Gibson or Couric, I keep hearing the voices of those same conservatives saying that Palin is "ready", that she's "experienced", that she's "strong".

Certainly, one can't expect every political figure to handle an interview with grace and poise, with no stumbling points at all. But, conservatives are casting Palin in dual roles here. It's so blatant and unrepentant that this goes beyond political spin, this is hypocrisy in it's purest form.

She's the hard-charging conservative ready to take charge and lead this nation should that time present itself. She's also the delicate little flower that no one has to right to pose direct questions to.
